When are fixtures announced, anyone?

The right place at the right time

If it’s a big team, Arsenal, gonna be a lot of pressure for them to win their first game as they are notoriously slow starters. New manager etc.

Promoted teams tend to have a lot of energy and start well, I’d take Huddersfield at home again, hopefully the players remember this season and how crap they were second time round and get some revenge for the previous opening day.

If Aston Villa are promoted love to face them first game of new season. Give Bruce a welcome to the premier league he will never forget. That and Brighton at home. Two nice mouth waterers to begin with.

Back in blighty for the first game so praying for a home game. Couldn't care less who against, although Brighton would be fun.

Any team who has the majority of their players at the World Cup has to be the obvious answer?

City, United, Liverpool, Spurs would be great. Spurs away would be their new ground which pretty much wipes out home advantage as they won't have played much at it.

I read the other week that the fixture organisers prevent the top 6 playing each other on the first or last day for some reason, in which case we've got a pretty high chance of getting one of them.

A promoted club is daft. You want them once they've played 10 games, started picking up injuries and lost that winning momentum.

26th January 2010 - Enter Administration
2nd May 2010 - D-Day 1 - Survival at Hillsborough
1st June 2010 - D-Day 2 - Survival at Lloyds
7th June 2010 - CPFC2010 exchange contracts.

1) We don't want a newly promoted team as they are still on a high and have a lot of energy in the first few games.
2) A top 5-6 team at home wouldn't be a bad option, perhaps Man Utd before they've found their stride.
3) Perhaps the best option would be to play one of the teams that stuttered badly towards the end of last season, such as Leicester, West Ham or Watford.
